This review is by my 10 year old son Darrel Current. He enjoys Max Lucado’s work, so he read and reviewed Max Lucado’s book Max On Life. – Don C.

The book Max on Life is basically questions from people to Max Lucado about various topics,for example,one question is:Why is there so much chaos and evil in the world?It seems that no one cares about what God wants,and humanity is imploding.Then Max gives an answer.

I would recommend this book to any person,christian or non christian who has questions about christianity.It has different sections like:Hurt,Help,Him/Her,and even Home.This makes it easier to find an answer to your problem in less time.

How would you like to have a personal advisor? Someone who would be with you everywhere you went? Someone to whisper in your ear during those difficult situations? Someone who would tell you just the right words to say when confronted by an uncomfortable encounter? That’s exactly the topic that Kenny Luck addresses in his new book “Soar” which I just read compliments of WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing through their Blogging for Books program.

Max Lucado does an excellent job of conveying the simple truths of the Gospel in his latest book Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make A Difference. The author uses very simple and plain language to give us the why and how of getting back to the original message of Christianity. He uses a very conversational style that is a pleasure to read. He fills it with many personal examples from his and others’ lives as well. This book is a call to action that every Christian needs to read and implement in their lives.

While reading the book, I was reminded of another book I recently read and reviewed The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns. Mr. Stearns book is a little more missional minded but does contain much of the same call to action as Max Lucado’s. I greatly enjoyed reading both of these books and am very thankful to BookSneeze.com for providing me with complementary copies to review. It has definitely given me a new perspective on my faith and challenged me to live out my faith in a way that will make a difference in the lives of others that will ultimately outlive my life.

The Boy Who Changed the World by Andy Andrews is a colorful children’s book that talks about the impact even a small action can have on the world. The book is adapted from Andrews’ inspirational book The Butterfly Effect in order to bring it down to a child’s level of understanding. It is graphically and colorfully illustrated by Philip Hurst.

In order to illustrate his point the author tells the story of the development of a hybrid corn seed that has saved the lives of billions from starvation. He traces the events that led up to the development backward through time to the small act of a simple farmer who rescued a small boy from the hands of outlaws and brought him into his own family.

This story does a good job of showing how everything we do can have an impact. Every child needs to learn the lesson that they don’t have to be a president, or CEO, or Military Hero to change to world. They just need to be themselves and do what they can for others.
